Milsurp After Hours

I picked up a model 1863 "peabody" bayo recently, but as you'll see it was well past its glory days:

However, I let it soak in some CLP for a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>while</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, and then gave it a good old-fashioned scrubbing with some steel wool.

This turned out better than I expected, and the locking ring works perfectly. Now I just need one of those crazy falling block rifles to put it on!:loco:;

Well, the Peabody will just have to wait, won't it? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b">;


The pics were even pulled by the time I got home...let me guess, the broken sling loop was on the but end?

Phil,





Looks good. A definite feeling of accomplishment in restoring, isn't there?

Hey Frank, is your profile e-mail a new one or something? I tried to write you earlier this week.





Once a week board? Not quite...just a small community...we grow just a little everyday:D;

Phil I did send you a reply about a week ago. Important to know is that the email address in my profile is just for receiving emails and I use a different one for the reply so better check your spam filter ...LOL (I'll forward it again)





Btw let's choose a fixed day of the week to post here then as I noticed some post-less periods here..





Thanks,


Guisan.;

I checked my filter and found a few mosquitos in there along with your e-mail<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b">;
